If you replay your happiest memories, they play like movie trailers, a coincidence of people, places, and stories that bring us joy. Chances are, you can recall the exact lighting from that scene, too – perhaps the bright sun on the beach or a candlelight dinner with a loved one. Smart lighting solutions can make even the simplest of moments feel unique and memorable.
Smart lighting solutions are all about designing your lighting to amplify these experiences, putting the power in your hands to control everything with ease. Think about all the lights in your home. There’s probably more than you think, from bedside lamps to under cabinet lights. Going around to turn each on and off throughout the day is not only a pain but also leads to many lights not being properly utilized. Smart lighting control takes all of your lighting and brings it under one umbrella of control. Whether you want one button to illuminate your whole room or automation set up to make your day easier, smart lighting puts the power into your hands and utilizes your home’s lighting to the fullest.
If you have an area of your home that is poorly lit, or rooms that could use light more effectively, we can work with you to design and implement a better lighting system. We work directly with interior designers and a variety of lighting manufacturers to find solutions that illuminate your home the way it’s meant to be seen. Whether you have a historic space that needs hundreds of lights to work in complete harmony, or an ocean-side home where your lighting needs to follow the ecological rules of island living, we’ll work with you to bring lighting to your home in an easy-to-control way.
Smart lighting puts flexible control at your fingertips. Whether your prefer to control your lighting through voice control, or use design-driven keypads on your wall, lighting automations can be set up to replicate your daily routine, saving you the hassle of manually controlling your lights and keeping you on schedule and focused. Creating new lighting scenes is easy with the Lutron or Savant phone apps.
Whether is a crisp and cool light to keep you energized while working from home, or a warm glow in the evening to help you unwind, smart lighting gives you access to endless possibilities to help your home feel more comfortable. With lighting solutions from Ketra, you can emulate the natural light of the sun, keeping your circadian rhythm in check. Ketra lighting also provides a large dynamic range, suitable for any situation.
Every room is unique. From the furniture and room dimensions to the natural lighting from windows or skylights, no two spaces are exactly the same. That’s why bringing cookie-cutter lighting solutions to your home can be a recipe for disaster. While our team consists of professional lighting designers, we also often collaborate with esteemed lighting designers from around thew world. We take meticulous care in each project to pick fixtures and bulbs that fit your home like a glove.
Smart lighting solutions offer versatile control options to enhance your convenience. Whether you prefer voice-activated control or sleek wall-mounted keypads, these systems can be configured to mimic your daily routine, simplifying the task of manually managing your lighting and helping you stay punctual and productive. Crafting custom lighting scenarios is a breeze when using the intuitive Lutron or Savant mobile applications.

Keeping your lights on an automatic schedule can have benefits beyond convenience and comfort. By syncing your shades and drapery with your lighting and creating automation schedules, you can give the impression that you are home, even when you’re on vacation, helping deter potential intruders. Of course, your smart home ecosystem can also pair up with some physical security solutions as well.
One of the first things that is immediately obvious with lighting control is the beautiful, handcrafted keypads that are available with this technology. Custom metal finishes and buttons with engraved, backlit scenes chosen by you elevate any home. This is only the icing on the cake; the real benefit comes in the form of enhanced convenience and flexibility, and an increased enjoyment of your home.
The smart lighting solutions in your home can be controlled by voice, through an app on your phone, or pair with a more traditional control solution, a keypad on your wall. Just as smart technology is designed to meld seamlessly with your home’s design, today’s smart keypads follow suit. Design-driven lighting control from Lutron, Josh, Savant and more are available in dozens of finishes, colors, and styles to ensure your lighting control fits in your home and controls your lighting the way you use it most often.

Unlike any other type of lighting, tunable lighting connects directly to how we’ve evolved as humans. Lighting plays a direct role in our daily schedule and habits. Because we can shift the color temperature in a tunable white LED lighting fixture, we can optimize it according to the environment or the time of day.
In the past, we’d have to choose warm or cool lights depending on the room and purpose of the light. Perhaps we’d use a warm light in our bedroom to promote sleep, but a cool light in the office to keep us focused. Smart bulbs eliminate this problem and let us tune each light to whatever we need.
That way, we can align the light with our circadian rhythm to better match the gradual dimming effect humans have experienced since the beginning of time. Gone are the days of glaring, overwhelming light bulbs, with their insistence on shining the same bright beams down on people regardless of the needs and moods of the inhabitants.
Used in museums and art galleries across the world, Ketra lighting represents the very best in home illumination. While most LEDs produce a single color temperature, locking you into a “fixed curve”, Ketra lighting offers a dynamic spectrum of colors, allowing you to not just tune the color of your lighting, but the warmth of your lighting as well. As Jake Ludemann, lighting designer at Nelson-Atkins states, “Having Ketra is like getting the biggest box of crayons in the world to work with.” Beyond the endless possibilities their lighting offers, one of the biggest advantages to Ketra is their Natural Light feature, which emulates the glow of the sun throughout the day, replicating outdoor lighting from the blue glow of dawn to the golden intensity of dusk, and everything in between. We’ve used Ketra everywhere from our own private cinema in SoWa, to home bowling alleys in New Hampshire and seen for ourselves how Ketra can transform a space.
Although Ketra is widely seen as the gold standard in tunable light, we work with many other lighting companies who also produce great quality dynamic light at differing price points.

Effective interior lighting design can transform your home, enhancing your mood, well-being, and overall comfort. It can make a significant difference in the atmosphere of a space, while poor lighting can undermine the appeal of even the most stylish interior. By implementing a well-designed lighting scheme during renovation or construction, you can ensure that each room has the right lighting for its intended purpose. This typically involves three layers of lighting: ambient, task, and accent. Ambient lighting sets the overall tone of a room, task lighting provides focused illumination for specific activities, and accent lighting highlights architectural features. Smart lighting solutions offer additional benefits, allowing for convenient control and customization of lighting scenes. Depending on the complexity of your lighting design, the resource to take on your lighting design might be your architect, our in-house design team, or a lighting designer whom we can recommend. No matter who provides the design, make sure to set aside the time and budget for a fully-considered lighting design.
